Veteran DOJ investigator says DOJ conduct surrounding the deaths of Good and Pretti is unprecedented and renders any DOJ investigation untrustworthy.
Sam Trepel, a former Civil Rights Division prosecutor, says the federal government appears to be shutting out state investigators in the probe into Alex Pretti’s death. She calls this “very unusual and, in fact, unprecedented.” cbsn.ws/4a859iE
